His agent must be rubbing his hands today, especially if Poch goes too.

Allegri is a good manager. I wouldn't want him though. There was a really in depth athletic article on him and he refuses to do video work, use technology, listen to stats people etc. Just an old school guy that doesn't want to adapt to new ways. For a lot of clubs he's still worth it because he wins.

Dude really hates Ipads

Santi is winning trophies in Qatar now...apparently he was at the game tonight too.

He'd still walk into our team. Thought I couldn't possibly appreciate him any more while he was here, but that turned out to be false.

Congrats villa, deserved to win it. What a boring final. DDG going to have nightmares about that.

Agree the bench wasn’t great but we knew that. Ole just doesn’t trust/like(?) Not sure the issue with vdb either. 10 to go, bring on James, VdB or Mata and try win it in the 90.

That’s where we are though. League season makes us look a lot better than we are.

Hard to imagine there won't be any repercussions for dragging Fergie out of his wine cellar all the way to Poland and then coming out with that performance and result.

Leicester had worse injury luck than Arsenal

Sure, but losing James Justin and Harvey Barnes killing your team should be an argument against your squad being better than Arsenal/Spurs, not in favor of it.

I hear ya, but Willian started 22 games for us this season.

Also, just got the new away kit in the mail today. Beautiful. Highly recommend. For someone who bitches so much about the club I sure do give them money like clockwork every year.

At least Kane knows who to join if he wants to pad his runner's up medals.

I assume this is a dig at Utd? He’d be as well staying at Spurs. More runners up medals in that last few years.

Chelsea might even end up with 2 this season.

Gold is a tier 1 source and basically the club's front office spokesperson.

All candidates have their drawbacks, but Poche feels to have fewer than the rest. He can hit the ground running, the squad is basically his and his mo is developing young players. Potter and ETH might have higher ceilings, but they might also bomb or take 18 months to get their **** together.

Think it has to either be him or Conte.

I'm holding on to the hope the last few bad xfers like Willian and Cedric were just the remnants of rauls influence on the club. All of the kroenke sports teams seem to be heavy into analytics and have improved a lot recently (avs are insanely oof and massive favs for the stanley cup)

So we skimmed on free transfers to be able to buy Gabriel/Partey, rather than getting tier two guys in those spots.

The big problem between us and chelsea/pool is they have been able to sell their cast offs for big money to afford everyone they want.

But they also didn't have Maddison for a stretch post Justin/Barnes injury as well. Plus Soyuncu/Pereira injured half the season.

Poch being back at spuds would be insane

Beckham
Owen
Scholes

Gerrard
A. Cole

Stupid English supporters having high expectations.

Quite the achievement to under achieve with that squad imo.
